China's Offshore Wind Farms Are Producing More Than Energy

China's offshore wind farms are emerging as unexpected marine sanctuaries. A new study shows turbine foundations act like artificial reefs, attracting fish, shellfish, and other sea life. The structures help stabilize sediments, improve water clarity, and boost carbon storage in surrounding seabeds. As China rapidly expands offshore wind capacity, researchers say these ecological gains could scale, turning coastal wind zones into hubs of both clean energy and marine restoration.
